Short article on the relationship between the mysticism and inherent poetics of Emanuel Swedenborg, and ideas about materiality and corporeality

This paper presents a framework for assessing alignment between corporate strategy, procurement strategy and purchasing tools. The framework is built on generation of rents as its common denominator for assessing alignment between the levels. Three types of rents are identified, monopoly rents (utilising market power, squeezing out cost), Ricardian rents (realising value from scarce intrafirm reso

This paper considers the impact of threats on professional service workers, especially as these emerge in healthcare services. Based on interviews with healthcare professionals and prison guards, this paper discusses the ethical dilemmas inherent in viewing the doctor-patient relationship from a solely rule-based ethical approach when threatening behaviour is involved. It is argued that under thre

Background: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) of intracranial arteries has high demands on image quality. Important parameters influencing vessel enhancement are injection rate, concentration of contrast media and tube voltage. Purpose: To evaluate the impact of an increase of contrast media concentration from 300 to 400 mg iodine/mL (mgI/mL) and the effect of a decrease of tube voltage from

Four recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains with enhanced xylose growth (TMB3400, C1, C5 and BH42) were compared with two control strains (TMB3399, TMB3001) through genome-wide transcription analysis in order to identify novel targets for inverse metabolic engineering. A subset of 13 genes with changed expression levels in all improved strains was selected for further analysis. Thirteen vali

Recent literature on L2 vocabulary testing points to a move away from discrete vocabulary testing towards more embedded and integrative approaches. This paper investigates if the way vocabulary is currently tested at English departments at Swedish universities follows this trend. The survey shows that a great majority of universities use discrete and selective vocabulary tests and that the multipl

Utbildning har förmodligen aldrig haft en mer upphöjd ställning än under de senaste decennierna. Samtidigt befinner sig skolan, eller snarare skolinstitutionen, i kris. Krisen har medfört att lärarna mer definieras som en del av problemet än av lösningen. Försöken att styra läraren i riktning mot en ”maktens lärare”, en anställd som lojalt gör det uppdragsgivaren vill, har därför också stått högt

Determining vaccine dose-level protection is essential to minimize program costs and increase mass vaccination program feasibility. Currently, a 3-dose vaccination schedule is recommended for both the quadrivalent and bivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines. Although the primary goal of HPV vaccination programs is to prevent cervical cancer, condyloma related to HPV types 6 and 11 is also pre

A comparative study of the Swedish translator Eric Hermelin and Emanuel Swedenborg

Abstract in German Sogenannte sexuelle Minderheiten haben in Kanada grundlegende Veränderungen ihres rechtlichen und gesellschaftlichen Status erarbeitet. Zumindest bis in die 1960er Jahre galten schwule Männer auf Grund ihrer ‘Tendenzen’ als Gefahr für die nationale Sicherheit und als leichte Beute für (kommunistische) Erpressung. Gegenwärtig ermöglicht die kanadische Gesetzgebung die Ehe für gle

Background and purpose: Leucocyte infiltration is a rate-limiting step in the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis (AP) although the adhesive mechanisms supporting leucocyte-endothelium interactions in the pancreas remain elusive. The aim of this study was to define the role of lymphocyte function antigen-1 (LFA-1) in regulating neutrophil-endothelium interactions and tissue damage in severe AP.
